Our Wedding

Our story, wow where do we begin… Well, first that would urge us to start a decade ago (literally) at the beginning of our love story placing us in the halls of Arlington High. From starting as friends to best friends, to partners to now looks at us now becoming one. Each year we have spent together has not only delivered growth, comfort, and joy, but also change and loss. We stood by one another’s side each and every day, pushing each other outside our our boundaries all while growing closer and falling more in love. We choose to stand still and to let God. The thing is, when you meet someone at such a young age, you are planting a seed in the phase of learning and growth. Day by day Alex and I chose to grow together and to become planted as one. Step by step, loss and gain we choose to stand tall and to continue. We let go of the little fights, became the number one supporter for one another, each other’s accountability partner, the safety rail that we needed and most importantly each other’s soulmates. Was it hard sometimes? Duh But was it worth it? Oh my yes. We are so excited to share a slice of our love on our wedding day! May the 4th be with you.
